Comedy Trivia & Irish Brews: A Night of Craic & Culture

Join us for a snappy evening of Irish flavor, laughter, and local storytelling at Comedy Trivia & Irish Brews, a Celtic Junction collaboration with Padraigs Brewing and Cosgrove Presents.

Start the night with a flavorful dive into the history of Irish beer, presented by Pat Carey, founder of Padraigs Brewing. Learn how centuries of brewing tradition, creativity, and cultural pride have shaped the Irish beer experience—then sample it for yourself.

Then it’s time for the Cosgrove Comedy Quiz, when host John Cosgrove leads a fast-paced, laugh-filled trivia night. Expect clever questions, cheeky commentary, and plenty of moments that’ll have you grinning over your glass.

Flying solo? No worries—we’ll match you with a fun team so you can jump right into the craic.

Enjoy a curated selection of Irish-style craft brews from Padraigs throughout the night. A portion of proceeds will support the Twin Cities Robert Emmets Hurling Club, helping grow one of Ireland’s most legendary sports right here in Minnesota.

Wit. History. Trivia.
Come curious, leave laughing.
